1 Thessalonians 5:18 

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Christian Based Selling

As sales professionals we know that our circumstances rise and fall.  There are peaks and valleys in our performance.   We also experience ups and downs in our personal lives.

If we interpret our challenges  negatively, such as the world doing us wrong, then we may fail to see God's guiding hand.  If we instead receive these challenges as an opportunity through which to grow and evolve in a way that will please God, then we will work through difficult times filled with hope and a confidence that better days are around the corner.   Our positive outlook will help us to see and take the correct steps forward.   

How have you responded to challenging personal or professional circumstances?  What would you do the same or different next time?
